For over 20 years, Nikki has been crafting spaces in New Zealand and around the world across a wide range of types and scales. Her projects have received a number of awards, including a DCC supreme award for adaptive re-use of a heritage building, Best Awards, Interior Awards and Property Council awards. Nikki has the ability to think broadly about a brief (often beyond what a client has imagined) and articulate a clear design strategy across many disciplines - from lighting designers and branding agencies to furniture makers and artisans.

After travelling and working in Europe, Nikki established a gallery for New Zealand furniture, lighting and product design. She worked in Wellington for one of the country’s oldest architecture and interiors practises, and, feeling the pull of the mountains, returned south and started her own interior architecture studio in Queenstown. She has been a regular contributing writer for a number of design publications and has taught at Victoria University Wellington School of Architecture and Design.
